    PPV. Just still cannot believe that nerve. Wonder what direction they'll go with undercard, nothing as of yet

    on a side HBO is not exactly putting out good product so far...Kovalev card was two complete mismatches really. Upcoming Crawford v Lundy should go the same way. Then Manny v Bradley on PPV in a fight few seem to care about and this in May.

    The quote alone needs no embellishment. Typical Khan, claiming top p4p status for something he hasn't done yet, and ignoring the scores of boxers who would be ahead of him for that spot. Shit site or not..... Khan has shown time and again his penchant for running at the mouth, and for once I'll be rooting for Canelo to knock his opponent's head clean off.

    Why would Khan care about any other boxers? He's promoting himself, that's the way it works.

    You can promote yourself without coming across as a fool. Or you can do it Khan's way.

    No rehydration clause for this so Canello can come in as heavy as he likes which means Khan could be fighting a light heavyweight or cruiserweight if he goes up to 180-185 lbs.
    Amazed Khan didn't demand a clause at 170 lbs seeing as the heaviest he has weighed was 160 lbs.

    Middleweight Championship bouts are contested at 160lbs limit!
    Any federation that doesn't adhere to the weight classes established is not representing boxing tradition.
    How a fighter can adjust the rules to suit his own agenda is beyond me. It's a joke this match up was even made, Khan hasn't even fought in the division and the weight is at 154+1 a "junior" limit not Middleweight.

    Being a fan of one man or the other has nothing to do with standing by the rules concerning weight limitations. Just another mark against boxing not being able to police itself.
    Khan needs to fight Garcia and Canelo vs GGG is THE fight now at 160lbs! Disappointed in Alvarez!

    "I don’t think it’s a great move for Khan in having the fight at 155,” said Hearn to IFL TV. “Canelo is probably going to be 175 on the night. There’s no rehydration clause, which is mad. That’s the biggest thing."

    Right, the weight difference could be crazy. Khan won't be able to dent him and will be reeling everytime gets touched. Strange fight this one.

    I really don't think Khan knows what he got himself into with the weight and just jumped at 'being included'. stardom. Wouldn't be shocked if this gets pushed back with some injury or scraped all together. Hopefully.

    Khan is going to get blasted. Horrible just horrible and the worst thing is that he thinks all he has to do is fight like Floyd.

    The millions Khan gets will console him. Khan's nuts should never be questioned, the fearless funker will believe he'll beat Canelo until he's surrounded by corner men and doctors

    Regardless of what weight Cannelo comes in at if he lands a flush bomb on Amir he's gonna fuck him.
    But the heavier he comes in the slower he's gonna be and he's slow anyway.
    Could be a mistake coming in too heavy as Khan is super fast and a great athlete.
    Khans gonna have to fight in machine gun bursts then leg it and repeat for 12 seriously disciplined rounds.
    Huge ask against a guy who will just walk through your punches.
    Possible ... yes but one mistake and he's gonna get brutally banged out.

    All the fighters who have had Khan in trouble were slow, yet he has he has beaten a good few solid speedy guys without being hurt. Khan has super fast hands, but he's not especially clever defensively and doesn't move laterally very well. He's also not nearly strong enough to tie up on the inside and buy himself time and space, Alvarez will just rag doll him.

    canelo just handled cotto fairly easily, one of the scorecards was a bit wide but he was pretty much in control of the whole fight, cotto is a great fighter and amir khan isn't on his level, this looks to be an easy work out for alvarez, I guess khan has a longer reach than cotto but that's about it :S.

    Canelo had a distinct size advantage over Cotto. That will now only be magnified versus Khan. Which is what bothers me about Canelo. But hell.... if I could make money beating fighters who can't possibly put a dent in me.... I'd probably do it too. Cotto hit Canelo flush and didn't budge him. Khan has absolutely no chance other than running all night and staying away from Canelo.
